hi, I have a lionel gp-9 lionel # 6-18562. i purchased it new and it worked great with my zw and with my tmcc cab 1. I ran it ocasionaly over the years than put it away. I just set up a platform wad wanted to run my engine. using my zw it works great all sounds work. When i hooked up my tmcc system with the cab 1 remote the railsounds do not work. when i turn on power the engine idles then revs up by itself untill it is reving all the way the horn does not work, i cant shut it down. it runs fine but i can't oporate any of the functions. i red and followed the directions and everything has new batteries. any help on this matter will be apriciated.

JUST ASKING - DO YOU HAVE GOOD BATTERIES IN YOUR REMOTE ??
yes, i installed new batteries in the remote and the engine
If it's been in the box for a few years, you may have to reseat the PLCC chips on the RS board. That seems to be a trouble spot, I've had a few that were flaky or didn't work at all, the simple reseating revived them. Check all the other connections as well oxidation on contacts can do funny things.
Ok! I got it running and sounding perfectly! I did a re program like you suggested bill and it worked! Thanks to all who replied for the help!
